    Vegan Cabbage Soup

    This vegan cabbage soup is super healthy, hearty and extremely tasty! Packed with loads of delicious veggies and heaps of flavor.

    This vegan cabbage soup is so tasty that it was all my husband wanted to eat for days on end while we were testing this recipe.

    I mean, considering how much rich and delicious food we make for the blog on a daily basis, the fact that Jaye was gobbling up this soup with sheer delight tells you how tasty it is.

    It’s super healthy but so tasty that it feels like a treat to eat it. It’s also just a little spicy and makes a wonderful appetizer or main course.

    For more delicious soups check out our vegan pho, vegan miso soup and vegan celery soup.

    Ingredients You Need To Make It:

    Ingredient Notes

    • Chopped tomato – we used regular canned chopped tomato in this recipe. You can also use fire roasted chopped tomatoes to add even more flavor.
    • Olive oil – if you want to make this soup oil-free then you can leave out the olive oil and just sauté the onions in some vegetable stock or water.
    • Cayenne pepper – gives this soup its spicy kick! It’s really delicious but if you aren’t a fan of spicy foods then you can reduce it or omit it entirely.
    • Vegetable stock – or broth. If you use a low sodium variety then you will need to add extra salt to compensate.
    • White beans – we used canned white beans, also called cannellini beans. You can use these or pretty much any canned beans that you have on hand.

    How To Serve Cabbage Soup

    This soup is totally delicious served on its own. But to me a soup isn’t complete without some bread on the side. So serve it with some crusty bread on the side for dipping. If you’re feeling industrious then make a loaf of homemade bread and serve it fresh and warm from the oven alongside your soup.

    Our delicious whole wheat bread or the easiest white bread would both be awesome choices. Some vegan garlic bread would be delicious too if you want something a bit richer.

    Some fresh parsley sprinkled on top is also great.

    Storing and Freezing

    Keep leftovers stored in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove.

    It’s also freezer friendly for 3 months. Let it cool completely before freezing. Thaw in the fridge and then reheat on the stove.

    2. Vegetable stock – or broth. If you use a low sodium variety then you will need to add extra salt to compensate. Just add salt to taste at the end and don’t be shy with it. If the soup is bland it just needs more salt/pepper. 
    3. Make it oil free – if you want to make this soup oil-free then you can leave out the olive oil and just sauté the onions in some vegetable stock or water.
